World's Prediction Thread

I can't believe we don't have one yet!

Ladies:

Yu-na Kim. Not as spectacular as at the Olympics due to her cold and not wanting it as bad.
Mao. More great skating from Mao but again unable to catch her rival. A downgraded jump in the LP.
Mirai. She lands her 3/3 in the short and skates lights out in the free again.

Men:

Plushenko does his schick and wins easily as he crowns himself the new King.
Daisuke Takahasi gets the GOE that he deserves even with the fall on the quad. again.
Patrick Chan redeems himslef and get a bronze.

Pairs:
who is going? Germans win if they go.

Dance:
Virue and Moir. The golden team.
Davis and White. right on thier heels
Fallia and Scali. Finally get a medal.

Realistically no, because at least one of the European ladies is likely to bomb, and Kwak more realistically will be 12th or something. I'm going replace Kiira with Akiko now though, because Kiira just had the SOHL at the Olympics and I don't think she"ll have another one at worlds.

Well apparently Joannie is going to worlds now? Someone said that she confirmed it but i'm not sure. As for Carolina, there has been no official announcement that she won't go so I don't know about her either. They could both be there but as of right now there are a lot of people who are still question marks...like Joubert (test skate?), Caro (Marchei?), Joannie (show?), Bradley (broken ankle?).....I wish someone had the answers.

Patrick Chan was very overmarked at the Olympics and I think that should count as his medal for this year.

I certainly hope to see fairer judging in the men's event at Worlds.

What I would most like to see is for Johnny Weir to skate well again and get on the podium. It will help make up for his under-marking at the Olympics.

OTH, Patrick's season got off to a slow and rocky start with injuries and his coaching situation and it could be that he finally peaks at worlds and deservedly gets a medal. Needs to land his 3as though.

Joannie is only doing an exhibition tribute to her mom, but from all current sources I'm aware of still plans to compete at Worlds. She's not competing in that pro Thin Ice event, so her eligibility for Worlds is still in tact.

This is considering Rochette might not be in her top form right now. But if she can pull herself together through the end of the season and again show us the strength and concentration as she did in Vancouver, I think she will probably take bronze, or even silver. She did beat Asada quite a few times in the last year, didn't she? Personally I hope she manages to deliver two good performances and take a medal. The downside of this happening will be Mirai out of podium, though.

Men:
1. Plushenko
2. Takahashi
3,4. Oda / Abbott
5. Chan

I just couldn't decide 3, 4 between Oda with new skate laces and Abbott with a clean free skate. And I agree with Layfan that Abbott will either medal or bomb.
